Tombstone Inscriptions

This material is reprinted from Deep Run Mennonite Church East, A 250 Year Pilgrimage, 1746-1996 by Timothy Rice. It is published again with permission from Timothy Rice and the Bucks County Genealogical Society which holds the copyright to this data.

Most of the following tombstone inscriptions of the Deep Run Mennonite Church East Cemetery were transcribed for the Bucks County Genealogical Society by Abraham Hunsicker, Edna Mae Loux, Timothy Rice, Calvin Ruth, Jenny Sperling, Helen Urbanchuk, and Francis Waite in 1986 and were later printed and copyrighted by the Bucks County Genealogical Society in the Bucks County Tombstones Inscriptions: Bedminster and Haycock Township book. These tombstones inscriptions were since updated by Timothy Rice on 27 March 1996.

The sections of the cemetery correspond to the map on the previous page. The tombstones were read from left to right, beginning with the row nearest the church. (This may differ from the numbering on the previous page.)

The following abbreviations are used: b. = born, d. = died, and Dau. = daughter. When more than one person is listed on the same tombstone the inscription will end with "[same stone]", quotes excluded. Ages are given in years "y", months "m", and days "d" without the quotes.

Perhaps the easiest way to use this page is to search for names of interest using "Control-F". It is possible that errors remain from the scanning procedure so you will find a pdf file at the bottom of the page.
